On A Mission:

"Where's Caroline?" Beth yawned out as she walked downstairs the next morning. She borrowed some of Caroline's clothes. Damon was drinking a glass of blood and handed her some orange juice, which she gladly took.

"She went down to talk to mommy dearest and give her breakfast." He joked and Beth rolled her eyes at him. He tossed a book on the couch next to her seat. "I found that. Thought it might come in handy."

It was a grimoire. It was her old one from back in 1864. "Oh my gosh. You found this? This is amazing, Damon. This might have spells that mine doesn't. Thank you!" She smiled widely at him and he nodded but he was pleased she was happy. Jeremy came into the room.

"What are you doing here?" She asked Jeremy surprised. "Does Elena know you're here? Where is she anyways?"

"No, I came to help. Elena's helping set up for the Lockwood Masquerade party." He told her. Beth looked at Damon, who just shrugged. They both knew that Elena wouldn't want her little brother involved in any of this. "Listen, I found out how to activate the werewolf curse. Tyler told me."

"Yeah, I know he told me too. Someone has to die by his hands." Damon and Jeremy both looked at her surprised. "I think I forgot to tell you that." She smiled sheepishly.

"No kidding." He said sarcastically sitting down next to her. Jeremy stood standing.

"And Mason's looking for a moonstone that Tyler has. It's some kind of rock connected to the werewolf legend." Jeremy informed them. Before either of them could ask any more questions the doorbell rang.

"Right on time." Damon got up and went to answer the door. Beth got up. Alaric was here, holding a bug box in his hands. She wanted to hit Damon for not giving her a warning that he was coming. "Ric!"

Alaric spotted Jeremy and Beth together. "What are you two doing here? I thought you were spending the night over at Caroline's?" He asked Beth. "Did you spend the night here?" He shot a look at Damon who just put up his hands. Alaric didn't exactly trust him around Beth. He knew exactly how he could be when it came to woman,

"Yeah, Caroline's here! She needed moral support. She was really upset last night. It's a very long story." Beth explained quickly before he could get the wrong idea. Damon just smirked.

"We're helping Damon find the moonstone." Jeremy told him. Alaric's attention told to him. He knew the same as them. Elena wouldn't want him involved.

"Does Elena know you're here?" He questioned him and the look on his face said it all.

"Not exactly." Jeremy said looking down.

"What you got?" Damon asked him wanting to get straight to it. Alaric set the huge box on the table and took some things out.

"This is Isobel's research from Duke. Her assistant sent it to me."

Damon wiggled his eyebrows. "Vanessa, the hottie." Beth rolled her eyes at him.

"Vanessa, yes. Do you remember the old Aztec curse she told us about?" He asked Damon. Damon nodded, uninterested.

"Sun and the moon, blah, blah, blah."

"An Aztec curse?" Jeremy and Beth asked at the same time. "Cool" Jeremy smiled enthusiastically.

"Yeah, supposedly vampires and werewolves use to run freely until a shaman put a curse on them, imitating their powers. Since then, werewolves can only turn on a full moon and vampires are weakened by the sun." Alaric informed them.

"Most of them anyways." Damon said smugly obviously referring the vampires fortunate enough to have rings that let them walk in the sun.

"According to the legend, the werewolf part of the curse is sealed with the moonstone?" Alaric continued on.

"What do you mean sealed? Like it can be broken?" Beth asked him, remembering something she read in her grimoire.

"Exactly. You should know. It's a witch thing, whatever seal the curse is usually the key to unsealing the curse." Damon explained.

"Maybe Mason Lockwood believes he can use the moonstone to break the curse." Alaric suggested to them. It would make sense. Beth couldn't think about why anyone would want to be a werewolf and lose control once a month.

"If we start believing in some supernatural witchy mojo legend from a picture book, we're idiots." Damon said and Beth rolled her eyes, again at him. "Where's the stone now?"

"Tyler." Jeremy answered.

"Can you get it?"

"Yeah." He nodded and he looked at Beth. He knew that between them two they could convince Tyler to let them see it.

"You see, now your life has a purpose." Damon grinned at him.

"So you do believe it?" Beth asked him.

"This is the same book that says a werewolf bite kills a vampire. Ignoring it would make me an even bigger idiot." Damon admitted. "Let's go."

Beth and Jeremy split up to find Tyler once they arrived at the Lockwood mansion with Damon. She finally found him with Matt helping to decorate. He smiled and nodded when he saw her coming over to help them. Matt was still talking though. "She's like this amazing girl one minute and then this raging jealous freak the next."

"Look you know what I think about Caroline Forbes. She's an insecure neurotic bitchy little twig." Tyler told him truthfully.

"Hey!" Exclaimed Matt. He didn't want him talking about her like that even if they weren't together. And Beth wasn't going to let him talk like that either.

"Don't be an asswipe!" Beth said hitting him over the head. Matt snickered as Tyler rubbed the back of his head, giving her a guilty look. He should know better than to talk about Caroline like that to Beth.

"Sorry! But the girl's got heart, she means well! You just got to take the good with the bad sometimes." Tyler said to Matt.

"Yeah." Matt muttered still unsure. "I'm going to go get an extra extension cord. I'll be right back." He told them leaving. Beth shot Tyler a glare.

"I'm sorry. Caroline's not that bad. I was just being a jerk." He admitted knowing that she was her friend.

"Yeah you were." She agreed and his mouth dropped open. She laughed at his shocked expression. "But I forgive you."

"So are you coming? To the masquerade?" He asked her.

"I don't know." She said softly. She really didn't think about coming. She wanted to just figure out everything with Katherine and the moonstone first. But she could tell Tyler didn't really want to be alone either.

"Come on! Just for a little bit. I have to wear a suit and everything! You can't make me go through this thing alone." Tyler pleaded and Beth just smiled.

"Okay fine! I will go." She promised him and before he could thank her, Jeremy showed up. "Hey, Jer." She greeted him and he smiled. She saw Damon outside of the window gesturing for her to go over to him and Stefan. "Listen, I have to go help them with something. I'll see you later." She said leaving them to talk.

"What's going on guys?" She asked them as Stefan listened to Tyler and Jeremy's conversation. "Did something happen?"

"Yeah we just found out that Mason Lockwood is in cahoots with Katherine. Bonnie touched him and saw Katherine." Damon informed her. Beth didn't understand why Katherine would want to be working with a werewolf if their bit could kill her.

"Okay so what's the plan? How are we going to figure out why she's using Mason?" Beth asked them.

"We're going to ask the witch if she can see if we can get something about her." Stefan told her looking away. "And Tyler already gave Mason the moonstone. So we need to talk to Bonnie." His cell phone rang. "It's Elena, she's worried."

"Okay, I'll go talk to her. I think Bonnie was over near the fountain. I'll go tell Elena what's going on." Beth told them and they split up. She found Elena over by the masquerades masks. She saw her and waved Beth over to talk.

"What is going on?" Elena asked her worried. Beth knew she didn't like to be out of the loop especially where her brother was concerned. "Jeremy's following Damon's orders and I have no idea where Bonnie is and I don't know what's happening."

"Mason is working with Katherine and we're trying to find out why. Jeremy wanted to help get the moonstone and right now they're talking to Bonnie to find out if she saw anything else about Katherine." Beth said quickly. She finally stopped to catch her breath.

Elena was nervous more at the fact that Jeremy was trying to help, which was exactly what she didn't want. She wanted him to be safe. "I don't want him to get involved, he's been through enough."

"Elena, I understand where you're coming from but Jeremy's not going to just back off. He's too stubborn and he's already in this. He has been for a while." Beth said to her.

Elena knew that but she couldn't help but be worried. "I-I just don't want to lose him either. He's my brother, Beth." She told her desperately trying to get her to understand. Her brother and her aunt were the only two family members she had left that she could count on. She didn't know what she would do if she lost them.

Beth understood. "I know. I know you want to protect him from everything but he's going to get caught up in it somehow, Elena. He wants to protect you too." She told her gently laying a comforting hand on her shoulder. Elena sighed but she knew that she was right. They went back to sorting out the masks while waiting to get some news. Ten minutes later, Damon texted her to get down to the driveway. "I have to go. Damon needs me." She said quickly.

She walked out of the house and down into the entrance of the Lockwood property. Damon came up behind her though. She gasped before turning to see it was him. "You scared the hell out of me! What are we doing?" She asked him as they made it to where Bonnie was trying to get a table out of a truck and Mason was going to help her.

"We're going to hit Lockwood with a double whammy." Damon told her. She saw starting Bonnie giving him an aneurysm. "Do the same as her. I don't want any surprises from him if it doesn't work right." He saw hesitation pass on her face. "Please?" He asked her and she nodded.

She walked behind Mason just as he tried to get up and with her and Bonnie's power combined Mason fell to his knees. Damon came up in front of him and kicked him in the face. Damon tossed Beth, Mason's key and she got in while Damon and Stefan put him in the trunk. She drove off once Bonnie and Damon were in the car.

They finally arrived at the boarding house a few minutes later. Damon and Bonnie grabbed Mason. "Grab his bag from the back and meet us inside." Damon told her as they went in the house. She groaned as she grabbed his heavy bag with something heavy in it that rattled. She dragged it into the house and set it down near the stairs. Damon and Bonnie had just put a blanket under the chair. "Thanks, Judgey." He said to Bonnie and she gave him a sarcastic look before leaving.

Beth walked up and stood in front of an unconscious Mason. "What are you doing?" He asked as she put her hands on his head. She closed her eyes.

"Looking into his mind to find anything about where the moonstone is or Katherine." And he was quiet as she searched. "Dark, small, water. It's in a well. Yeah, it's definitely a well." She said convinced. Before he could reply the werewolf grabbed her hands and Damon quickly got him off of her.

"You okay?" He asked and she nodded. "You should go. You don't want to be here for this." He said seriously and Beth didn't ask why she just left. She walked in on Caroline and Bonnie talking. She didn't want to interrupt but she had to find the moonstone.

"Hey, I don't want to disturb but do you guys know about a well anywhere? Specifically in the woods?" She asked them. They exchanged a glance.

"Yeah there's one on the edge of the old Lockwood property, we used to play when we were kids." Caroline told her and Bonnie nodded in agreement.

"Let's go." She gestured and Bonnie was a bit hesitant on letting Caroline come. But she nodded and went with them. Beth had Caroline send a text to Stefan to tell him. The faster they got to the moonstone the better. "Do you know how to get there?" Beth asked Caroline as they made it to the woods.

"Yeah it's right through here." Caroline walked in front of them as they lagged behind. Both witches tried to keep up with her. Bonnie looked at Beth.

"So, how long have you known you were a witch?" Bonnie asked Beth, making conversation.

"I was 10 when I found out. My mom was a witch and she didn't think I'd get the gene since before I didn't show any powers. She helped out a lot." Beth smiled thinking of her mother. She taught her everything and she missed her a lot. "What about you?"

"I actually just found out not long ago. My grandmother was the one to help me through everything." Bonnie told her. She didn't want to get into the topic of her grandmother. That would just bring up her animosity to Damon and Stefan. She was impressed by her skills she had, though. Not every witch can counteract another witch's power, like she did to save Damon. You had to have real power to do that. Beth might even be more powerful than her, which was unsettling since she seemed to be close to Damon and she didn't trust him.

"Oh my God." Caroline said stopping. Before either of them could ask what was wrong she ran off at vampire speed. They both took off after her but she was so far gone they couldn't see her. Bonnie figured out the way to the well and she led the way. They finally made it to the well. They saw Elena getting ready to go into the well and Caroline holding the chain she's on.

"What happened? You just took off?" Beth asked Caroline.

"I heard Elena screaming." She explained. She turned to Bonnie. "Help her!" She said and Bonnie helped Elena get the chain on tight. "Are you ready?" Elena nodded. Caroline started to slowly lower her down into the deep well. It was okay for a minute until Caroline's hand slipped and Elena fell before she grabbed on tightly again. Caroline apologized before starting to lower her down again. Beth and Bonnie could only look on. After a moment they all heard a splash, signaling she was at the bottom. "Elena what's going on down there?" Caroline asked her worried.

"Pull him up!" Elena yelled from the dark well and Caroline started pulling. Soon they saw a bloody and hurt Stefan. Beth quickly raced forward to get the chains off of him and with Bonnie's help they laid him on the ground as Elena searched for what they came for, the moonstone. Caroline was talking to her. "Hold on! I think I found it." She yelled back as Beth and Bonnie walked back over to her. They heard her shriek.

"Elena! What happened? What's going on?" Beth screamed down in the well as she screamed again. They all heard the splashing of water as Elena chained herself up.

"I got it! Come on, bring me up!" Elena asked from the well and Caroline immediately pulled her up quickly. Elena, soaking wet appeared before them as she climbed out of the well. Bonnie hurried to help untie her and Elena saw Stefan on the ground and quickly ran to him. "Oh, God. Stefan!" She knelt beside him, as she grabbed a nearby rock and cut herself. She pressed her wrist to his mouth and he started to drink. "I've got the stone, Stefan. Stefan, it's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay."

After, Elena made sure Stefan had enough blood in his system to heal she helped take him home. Beth went straight to her house though. She and Beth both were supposed to be having dinner at her house with Alaric. Bonnie went home. Caroline went back to the boarding house as well to talk to her mom.

Beth, exhausted made it to the Gilbert house. It was already unlocked when she came in and kicked off her shoes. She was pretty much used to it since Alaric was here all the time with Jenna. Jeremy was about to go up to his room when he saw her and smiled. "Hey, how's it going?" He asked. He dropped his voice into a whisper. "Did you get the moonstone?"

Beth nodded and leaned in so they wouldn't be heard. Jeremy was very aware at how close they were. "Yeah we did it's with Stefan now. Thanks, by the way for all of your help." She smiled and he returned it. Before he could say anything else. "I'm going to go see Alaric." She said as she walked away. Jeremy sighed as he walked upstairs.

She walked into the family room and made her way into the kitchen. "Where's the salt?" She heard Alaric asked.

"Table." Jenna answered and Beth walked in to see them kissing. She made a gagging noise. They both blushed and looked up. Beth resisted the urge to laugh at their expressions at being caught. Alaric shot her a look and ruffled her hair, which he knew she hated. "Come to help? Try not to puke at out PDA." Jenna joked as she bumped her hip.

"I'll do my very best." She joked back as she helped set the table. She really liked Jenna. She was good for Alaric and at least he seems mellower about Beth when he's with her. Which was always a good thing when he was being overprotective. Alaric also was happy she liked Jenna. He knew she didn't really have a female figure to talk to especially about Damon. She turned and saw Alaric asked Elena if she was okay and she nodded and headed up stairs.

Beth and Alaric were almost done setting the table when Elena came back down. Jenna was on the phone with someone. "Where is Jeremy?" She asked them as she put a few plates down.

"He went up to his room. I don't think he's hungry." Beth told her and she nodded before looking over to see Jenna talking.

"Who is she talking to?" Elena asked nodding over to Jenna and Alaric shrugged.

"I don't know. Everything go okay today?" He asked looking between them both and they exchanged a look. It wasn't exactly okay but they got what they needed and Stefan was fine now.

"There were a few hiccups but yeah." Elena said and Beth agreed with her. Jenna walked over with the phone and handed it to Elena saying it was for her. "Who is it?" She asked before speaking into the phone. She walked to the side as she began talking into the phone. Beth went to wash her hands in the sink before they ate. "Jenna, no!" She screamed. Beth turned around in time to see Jenna plunge the knife into her stomach and fell.

"Jenna!" Alaric yelled as she raced towards her with Elena on his heels. Beth dropped to the floor with them. They hurried to call an ambulance to get her to the hospital. One look from Elena told her everything. Katherine did this.

They got her to the hospital. Thankfully, she was fine. Jeremy and Elena were talking in the waiting room when Alaric and Beth walked in to see them hugging. Elena pulled back and quickly wiped her eyes of the tears. "She'll be okay. They said that she's lucky but she's going to have to stay the night." Alaric told the kids. They all knew who did this and why. But what they were most worried about was Jenna. "She'll need a change of clothes for tomorrow, though."

"I'll come with you to get them. I know where everything is." Elena volunteered. She didn't want to leave Jeremy alone though. He was already upset that he couldn't stop it and now she was in the hospital. Beth knew that.

"I'll stay here." Beth said and they left to go back to the house. They both sat down. Jeremy couldn't stop looking back at where the rooms were. Where he knew Jenna was.

"She did this to her." Jeremy informed her angrily. He was shaking slightly, out of fear and anger. "Katherine put her in here. She's not going to get away with this." She knew it was less about Katherine and more about almost losing Jenna. He couldn't lose one of the only people he had left. Beth knew exactly how he felt. She would be the same if anything happened to Alaric.

"I know. She's won't, Jeremy." Beth said. Jeremy wasn't looking at her though. She gently reached for his hand and squeezed it. He looked up at her, surprised. She gave him a weak smile that he returned. He kept their hands together. "I promise Katherine will get what she deserves." She already did enough. She could have killed Jenna. That's the point she wanted to make. She was dangerous and they needed a plan to get rid of her. Before someone else got hurt.
